I WAS EXCITED WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT SHAE HAD ADDRESSED ALL HER VALENTINES HER SELF. I GUESS MY LITTLE GIRL IS GROWING UP.
DAVID IS TAKING A JOB IN NORTH CAROLINA THIS SUMMER. HE LEAVES THE END OF THIS MONTH. I WAS EXCITED AT FIRST. THINKING DAVID WOULD BE GONE FOR THE SUMMER AND THEN THE KIDS WILL GET TO GO TO FAMILYS HOUSE THIS SUMMER FOR TWO WEEKS SO THAT MEANS THAT I WILL HAVE TWO WEEKS TO MY SELF BUT THEN I REMEMBERED THAT I HAVE TO WORK. BLAH!!! O WELL. AT LEAST I HAVE A JOB WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS.
THIS MONTH WE ARE GETTING THE SPRING CLEANING DONE. I ALSO HAVE A NIEGHBORHOOD EASTER EGG HUNT THAT A FEW OF US ARE PUTTING TOGETHER FOR NEXT MONTH. THEN I CAN GET WORKING IN MY YARD. THE DOGS SURE HAVE DONE A NUMBER ON THE BACKYARD THIS WINTER. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CHALLENGE. THATS ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HAVING A HOUSE. I LOVE THE YARD WORK. I GUESS THAT IS ONE THING I INHERATED FROM MY GRANDMA. :) I ALSO HAVE A GARAGE SALE TO GET READY FOR. WISH MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS HERE TO HELP ME WITH IT. SHE IS AMAZING WHEN IT COMES TO THAT STUFF. WE ALSO HAVE SPENCER( DAVIDS BROTHER) COMING TO VISIT THIS MONTH. SPENCER IS GOING TO BE WORKING WITH DAVE THIS SUMMER. WE ARE ALL EXCITED TO SEE HIM.
SO DAVID IS GETTING EXCITED TO BE STARTING THIS NEW JOB IN NORTH CAROLINA. HE SURE HAS BUSTED HIS BUTT FOR THE COMPANY HE IS WITH NOW. SHAE IS DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL. SHE LOVES TO READ.( THANK GOODNESS) BUT SHE HAS PROBLEMS WITH MATH(LIKE HER MOM)
KAYLA IS.... WELL... KAYLA. SHE IS IN THAT STAGE WERE SHE IS VERY HELPFUL. SHE LOVES TO HELP GRANDMA COOK. (GRANDMA LOVES THAT TOO) KAYLA HAS BEEN WORKING ON SHAPES AND NUMBERS. SHE LOVES TO LEARN. SHE CALLS IT HER HOMEWORK. (LIKE BIG SIS)
MY MOM IS DOING GOOD TOO. SHE HAS STARTED A DISH TOWEL. WATCHING HER DO IT REMINDS ME OF GRANDMA. :) I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY BOOKS SHE HAS READ THIS WINTER. I AM SURPRISED SHE GOT ANY READING DONE. THE GIRLS WERE IN HER ROOM WITH HER ALOT. SHE LOVES THEM SO MUCH. SHE LOVES TO JUST SIT AND WATCH THEM PLAY. I THINK SHE WILL BE GOING TO SEE MY SISTER THIS MONTH FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. SHE WANTS TO TAKE A VACATION BEFORE DAVID LEAVES. I WILL NEED HER HELP WITH THE GIRLS WHILE I AM AT WORK.

As you can see there are nothing but smile to go around the house over here in boise. We have all had such a wonderful holiday season. As for news

things have

quite for the most part. Shae is back in school which has made everyone happy. I think the girls were going to kill each other if grandma didn't do first. Here in a couple of days we will be heading over to Idaho Falls. Spencer will be home on Wednesday woohoo!

As more news arises we will try to keep this updated to let everyone know how life is going. Just remember to keep a smile on your face, it always seems to help us. Lots of love to everyone.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted on a really long time. Time some how got away from me. The girls are doing great. Shae is loving school. She loves reading and math. I just hope she keeps up that interest all threw school. McKayla is a had full with her imagination. Camping, being a princess with a broom horse and a prince to keep track of asre some of her most recent imagination ideas. David has started a new bussiness. He is very busy with that. He makes alot of buisness trips to Idaho Falls. I think he loves it. Once he decides he is going to do something nothing else gets in the way. :) My mom Has been living with us ever since my grandma past away. I am happy she has the opportunity to watch the girls grow on a daily basis. She had both her hips operated on over a course of 2 months. The first one went great. I wish I could say that for the second one. Hopefully she will over come this ecperience as well. I am doing well also. Working and taking care of the family. What else could a mother and wife ask for. I willl get some pics up as soon as I can. Love you all!!!

THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER AT THEIR FIRST MEAL TOGETHER. MY BROTHER IN LAW CUT UP HER SPAGETTI AND SHE GOT MAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT IT CUT UP AND SO SHE STARTED THROWING A FIT. SO MY BROTHER IN LAW TRYIED THE SCARE TACKTIC AND YELLED AT HER. WITH OTHER KIDS IT WOULD HAVE WORKED BUT IT DIDN'T WITH HER.

Hi! If anyone is looking to get a trained, fixed,dog who loves kids and other dogs or knows anyone who is looking, PLEASE let me know. We have been watching my nephews dog off and on for a couple of years, he is a good dog. But we have our dog seirra and my moms dog. 3 is too many for us. My nephew said it was time to give him to a stable home instead of bouncing him between his house and ours. So let me introduce Buddy. He is a 4yr old, papered red heeler. He is also current on his shots. He loves to play fetch and run in the sprinklers. He really should have a backyard with kids or dogs to play with. He is also crate trained. He will come with an indoor kennel and an out door dog house. He is a very loyal dog. So if anyone is looking or knows anyone looking let me know. :)

He every one! hope the summer is going great for all of you. We are enjoying the weather. I got the swimming pools out and the neighbor hood flocked to our place when thaey found out. Shae wanted everyone to play. They all had fun. Well the girls are going to Idaho Falls for about two weeks. Aunt Cindy (my sister) Is going to take them camping. They are barrowing a motor home from a friend. (camping sure isn't what it used to be) The girls call the motor home "the bus" They think it is cool to be driving and be able to walk around in the bus while it is moving. Then Grandma and Grandpa are taking them for a week, I think. The girls are so excited! Then I am picking them up on the 2cnd and coming home on the 3rd. I will miss them! yet I am excited to have them gone for a little while, so I can get some stuff done. Well got to go Its time to start getting some stuff done and get them packed!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

To all the important men in our lives, Uncle Joe, Papa, and Dave!

A father and grandpa have such a great impact on a girls life. They provide examples of trust, love, understanding, and strength. So when a girl looks in the mirror that's what she looks for in herself. She also looks for those qualities in her future partner. With out these great role models in her life she has nothing to compare to. So she ends up with the guy who treats her terrible, who lies to her, cheats on her, treats her as if she where nothing other than a fixture to do his bidding.

So I would like to say THANK YOU to my DAD for setting the wonderful examples that you have shown me of love, understanding, strength, compassion, and trust. I would not be where I am today with out you. Thank you for beliveing in me And showing me love and vompassion. You are a amazing man.

I would also like to say THANK YOU to KEN for raising a great son. You have taught him love, understanding, trust, and compassion. I know you have taught him these things by example, he has watched you from day one. He strives to be like you! And I see why, You are an amazing man.

I have not forgot about the love of my life. I want to say THANK YOU to you as well. I realise it is not easy to love me at times. But you do just great at holding us all together. You love us and are patient with us when we are even less than impossible to deal with. You took on a lot three years ago. a wife and daughter. Then you added another daughter, a house and a mother-in-law. Your strength is amazing, or maybe your are just crazy! I love you for being you, kind, understanding, compassionate and strong when you need to be. You are a great father to our girls who think you are amazing.

So THANK YOU to all of you for setting a wonderful example for my girls on what a man should be but to also to not ever settle until they find one that can reach the high standards that you all have set! We love you with all our hearts!!!! Shae, McKayla, and Echo
